    @dvmmcw7442 you got this! You are allowed to enjoy your vacation! Once youโ€™re back into your routine and pounding out those steps again, youโ€™ll be back on track!!

    @jm216 you have been doing really great! So glad you are feeling better and seeing the progress. ๐Ÿ˜Š

    @deepwoodslady Donna I hope all goes well with Owenโ€™s surgeryโ€ฆ. Hugs and prayers to you all. ๐Ÿ’›

    Thanks @Tbris4 I just want to be able to not quite enjoy myself so much around food when away ๐Ÿ˜ฌ I really felt awful yesterday- bloated, tired, and my gut just felt like it was in turmoil. I hadn't eaten processed sugar for quite a while and felt awful after having a DQ blizzard on Saturday. Like alcohol, it's just not worth the short pleasure it gives.

    I appreciate your kind comment ๐Ÿฉท It's a reminder that I am not alone with this struggle.

    Well I made a commitment this month to weigh myself first thing every morning. So I thought I would join this group. It will enforce accountability. My goal is simple. Just weigh myself to capture both positive and negative triggers.
    7/5- 194 lbs.
    7/8- 193 lbs Had a light bulb moment. If you don't weigh yourself every day you are missing the moments when you have lost weight.

    My name is Donna. I am 5โ€™ 5โ€ tall, 65 years old and from Michigan USA. In 2016 I weighed 253 lbs. I am on a journey of health and to get back to the real me.

    This Challenge Starting Weight (from June 30th): 189.0

    Goal: (Four lb Loss) 185.0

    Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx

    Total Lost/Gained this month: xxxxx

    ๐Ÿ”œ๐Ÿ”œ๐Ÿ”œ๐Ÿ”œ๐Ÿ”œFinal goal: 145-155. Iโ€™ll know when I get there.

    **********ONE DAY, ONE STEP, ONE DECISION AT A TIME********

    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

    07/21 โ€“ 186.8 โœ… (Trend Weight โ€“ 190.1)

    07/22 โ€“ 187.2 (Trend Weight: 189.8) I feel quite sure the weight is slightly up because I weighed at 4:30 am instead of my usual 9:30 or 10:00 am. As someone who goes to bed very late, 4:30 am doesnโ€™t leave much room between last snack and wakeup time. Besides, I already may not weigh tomorrow after travel and so much sitting expected today and I didnโ€™t want to skip two days in a row. DGSโ€™s surgery today so out the door I go in a few minutes. Prayers for a smooth surgery for Owen are appreciated.

    ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ’ฅ 07/23-189.6 โŒ (Trend Weight: 189.7) I really didnโ€™t want to weigh today because I know some of this is travel / false water weight gain and tomorrow will be likely be some water loss if a loss is shown. But curiosity got the best of me. Today it looks like my actual weight and my trend weight have pretty much caught up with each other, but that probably is not likely the case, quite yet. Owen did very well during the 30 minute tonsil and adenoid surgery. They said his adenoids were extremely large. Here is a pics of him prior to surgery. So brave! He was not too happy after surgery.

    Hi all. Not been a great month. I finally built my bike so at least Iโ€™ve started exercising again after a very lazy start to the month.

    Made a pumpkin risotto last night - scales moved back up. Itโ€™s been so long since Iโ€™ve really made any progress I think that maybe Iโ€™m stuck being a big fat blob. I donโ€™t want to accept that though - Iโ€™m not happy with how I look. Itโ€™s not healthy being so overweight.

    July 23: yesterday brought a wave of emotional eating thatโ€™s been building from the weekend. Although I lost my dad to cancer almost 5yrs ago, some recent events resurfaced the emotions of losing him all over again. As hard as those triggered emotions are, I know that he is always with me which always brings me peace. Unfortunately, With the flood of emotions, came bad choices. I never really thought of myself as an emotional eater, but logging daily has helped me to see how my emotions play into my choices. There will always be moments where emotions will resurface, but how I chose the deal with them when they do is my choice. I am giving myself grace and today is a new day. ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ™

    @Tbris4 I'm sorry about your father's death a few years ago. It will affect you for the rest of your life in both positive and negative ways, I'm sure. It's okay. We are humans with bundles of nerves and emotions. It does play into our decision making, our willpower and ultimately our weight and that is okay.

    On another challenge someone posts daily that they are the driver in their life, not the passenger. I love that! I try hard to always be the driver but sometimes circumstances come along that puts us in the passenger seat. That's okay too. We all need to be a passenger sometimes on this long long road of life.

    Don't beat yourself up. Allow your grief and all the forms it takes to happen. Our emotional health and well-being matters too! If it means ice cream or pizza or pretzels that we don't even really care for, that's okay too. Those couple of ounces or pounds on our bad days do not define us and they won't stick around anyway because life is a journey and we are on it for the long haul.

    You've got enough sorrow, or heartache, or confusion about your dad's death. You don't need the pressure or disappointment of the scale. If needed, take a day or two break from the scale when you go through things that throw you off your plan. Perhaps you don't even need to see it. As long as you jump right back onto plan in a day or two then you can jump back on the scale. There is no shame in DNW. I personally do not need to see the numbers go up after a day of emotion or a day of travel. I already know. I don't need to jump in a fire to know that it's hot. That's honestly how I feel about it.

    My thoughts and prayers are with you today. I lost my Dear Dad in 1992. I was 32 years old. It changed who I am. I am rooting for you. You've got this. Just remember to do it Your Way, whatever that may be. Your way for the weight loss, Your way for the grieving. Then it will be most effective.

Owen did very well during the 30 minute tonsil and adenoid surgery. They said his adenoids were extremely large. Here is a pics of him prior to surgery. So brave! He was not too happy after surgery.

    Well I made a commitment this month to weigh myself first thing every morning. So I thought I would join this group. It will enforce accountability. My goal is simple. Just weigh myself to capture both positive and negative triggers.

It sure takes longer to come back off when it can leap on at 2-4 lbs easily in one day! Something to keep in mind I supposeโ€ฆ. Owen is still grumpy today. He is still struggling with food. The only small amount of squeezable fruit or food of any type he takes is when I threaten to call the ambulance. I told him about IV feeding and he doesnโ€™t want that! So he takes one bite or one squeeze. Thatโ€™s about it. He is finally taking some of the Motrin so thatโ€™s a plus. Heโ€™s grumpy. I am staying out of his face as much as I can.
